I am putting new tires on the car and I see that most of the rims have a back spacing. How do I know which one is right for my car? How do I measure this?

check out the mustang section at Dodgestang Archives. it is very informative

I am looking up these tires and it is giving me two different size tire for mny car and size rims that I have. With that being said, I can't find matching tires in those two different sizes. Do I have to get different sizes or can I put the same all around?

[astumpf]

what size rims are you wanting to put on?

[Ooh_Smoothe]

They are 15x8 rims.

[astumpf]

you could probably go anywhere between 225 60 15 to 275 60 15. that would be my legit. guess

on a 15x8 wheel you will need a 4.5" back spacing.
a 225 either 50 or 60 will fit easy. Once you get into the 245 or 275 series it will get close (depending on how low you are) you may need to "roll" the rear fender lips I suggest doing this it will prevent any cuts to the side wall of the tire in the event it should rub. chris

This site is awesome! That's is why I joined. Thanks for the input. 225 is what I was thinking about doing but wasn't sure. Thanks again.
